The Kosciusko Railway (reporting mark KSRY) was formed in 1998 to operate the former Aberdeen District of the Illinois Central Railroad between Aberdeen Junction and Munsons Crossing, Mississippi. The 21.66 mile railroad line was purchased from the Illinois Central Railroad by the Mississippi Department of Transportation and leased to the Kosciusko & Southwestern Railway.
The company once specialized in transporting wood products from local woodyards but now is mainly in the car storage business. The railroad operates on an as needed basis.
The railroad interchanges with the Grenada Railway at Aberdeen Junction.
The KSRY has two small locomotives at its disposal:
